Stephens High
Today, the last day of AmeriCorps Week, Robbie and I went to Stephens High School in Rapid City. We brought pizza, generously donated by Papa John's on Rushmore Ave., to lure the students into the conference room reserved for us. Unfortunately, the conference room was not located near a high-traffic area and the pizza wasn't strong enough to tempt them to come and inquire. We were told there have been announcements for our visit all week, and we saw several posters, but it was a beautiful sunny day and my co-workers loved the pizza.
VISTA stands for Volunteers in Service to America. The program has been fighting poverty since its inception in 1965. Instead of performing services directly, our goal is to increase the capacity of our sponsoring organizations.
